My first (and first first-author!) paper was published last week🥳Myself, @DrWilliamAmos, John Dempster @SIPBS_Strath, @liskoelln, @gram_lab, Mike Shaw @NPL and @gailmcconnell demonstrated large FOV TIRF capable of imaging > 700 cells at once! https://t.co/umAI6H9jGG

Fluorescence in action! This is the prism for our home built MesoTIRF modality with the #Mesolens while I was aligning today.

Whenever I get overwhelmed by a big project, I break it up into small pieces so I can be overwhelmed by each small piece.

Massively excited to be starting a PhD at @PhysicsStrath this week!

@radioactivenaan Thought this said GET a puppy and almost lost my shit

Realized I wasn’t procrastinating because I was lazy but because I was scared of failing. Really changed the way how I deal with it now.

Excellent panel discussion on mental health in academia today from @CactusMHS, @ZJAyres, @BhavikAnilPatel, @LindaCCor, and @proud_rpcv! I’m glad that these discussions are happening and hope to see change in the future.

@GilesPalaeoLab @carbonatefan @seis_matters @DavidDye9 @Sim0nRedfern @ProfMarkMaslin @DavidPriceUCL @FaithfullJohn all those people who'll say 'i'll change it when i'm in charge' then get in charge and ... get a nice office.

Wellness seminars that tell grad students to "get enough sleep and do yoga," but do NOT acknowledge systemic issues in #academia (ex. racism, sexism, #mentalhealth stigma, etc.) are gaslighting students into believing they have to put up with abuse.

@AcademicChatter It doesn’t have to be permanent time out, but taking space to reflect and heal is so valuable. Good luck ❤️

[Anna Gribbon @anna_gribbon]

@AcademicChatter I suffered very badly with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in my second Master’s degree. Taking a leave of absence was the only step that significantly helped me. I think it’s difficult to get better while you’re still in a triggering environment.

[Philip J. Ellis (he/him) @Philip_Ellis]

I wish we could just ignore JK Rowling but every time she says literally anything it endangers vulnerable young people, so I'm sorry gang but here we go again:

Comparing transitioning to conversion therapy is transphobic, homophobic, intellectually bankrupt and dangerous.

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

It's truly wonderful to see so many (much needed) initiatives aimed at supporting PhD students. I would however like to see more institutional support for these, they're often run by those most in need of support. Something to think about & work on moving forward.

[Anna Gribbon @anna_gribbon]

@radioactivenaan Can’t believe how selfish you are tbh

[Shannan Foylan @shannan_foylan]

We have developed a prism based Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence illuminator to be used over the 36 mm^2 field of view of the #Mesolens, providing ~100 nm axial resolution across a thousand cells in a single image. @PhysicsStrath @PhotonicsMeetup #POM20ju #POM20bio
